I have carefully gone over the text and have a theory that covers all of the major plot points in "Kevin Malone" -- I think. It doesn't require that I reveal any private, off-list confidences from Tony Ellis, so don't blame him. In fact, this theory is very different from his. There is no way to explain it without divulging parts of the plot, so be warned!

Well, it all fits. Anyone buying it?
Nope! Far too complicated. Tony's theory, which I worked out independently following his original posting and even extended a little, is much simpler, scarier, and fits the story perfectly without requiring so many Malones to work at the same house.
SBear.
Will someone post/put on the web this second theory? Mark it with spoiler warnings if necessary. I'd really like to see it.
